+	  This option enables kernel support for the Vector Scaler extensions
+	  to the PowerPC processor. The kernel currently supports saving and
+	  restoring VSX registers, and turning on the 'VSX enable' bit so user
+	  processes can execute VSX instructions.

+	  CPUs (it does, however add code to the kernel).
